Intelligent new add-in brings to C# developers the powerful
productivity features found in
award-winning IntelliJ IDEA

July 21, 2004

Prague, Czech Republic, July 21, 2004 - JetBrains™, Inc., creators of
intelligent
application development tools, today released their first .NET product initiative,
JetBrains ReSharperT, a fully
integrated plug-in that enhances Visual Studio .NET 2003 with powerful, intelligent
refactoring and code editing
assistance. ReSharper provides C# developers with many of the same robust productivity
enhancements that Java
developers have come to rely on in the company's flagship IntelliJ IDEA IDE, now in
version 4.5.

Early access C# user group reviews have been enthusiastic, showing the company's
innovative, open approach to
creating Java development tools is every bit as valuable when brought to the C#
developer community. ReSharper's
convenient, integrated menu approach makes its power fully available in Visual Studio
.NET 2003 without a
significant slowdown or other trade-offs for the added productivity features.

Key ReSharper features include:

Tight integration with Visual Studio - installs as an integrated feature of the IDE
itself

Navigation enhanced by powerful capabilities such as the ability to jump instantly
between a method and its
declaration or between a method in a base class or interface and its implementation

Shortcuts to open a class or file simply by typing a partial name

Powerful, intelligent and innovative coding features including Smart Type code
completion and multiple
choices for variable naming that reflect type

Live templates for context-based value substitution and automatic code expansion

Enhanced highlighting of fields, local variables, classes and more, including
unmatched error highlighting
to eliminate mistakes before they become problems

Unmatched support for refactoring, including such key types as "Rename," "Change
Method Signature,"
"Introduce Variable" and "Extract Method"

"Developers participating in the ReSharper Early Access Program became the driving force
behind the tool's
terrific productivity enhancements," said Eugene Belyaev, president and chief technology
officer at JetBrains.
"Our EAP eventually brought in C# developers around the globe, and their active
participation has polished the
initial beta ReSharper into an unmatched productivity tool for C# developers using the
Visual Studio
environment."

JetBrains has long been known for its consistent focus on increasing the productivity of
developers, and
ReSharper continues the tradition of setting the industry standard for application
development technology. For
